Sr Bus Trip to the Musical "Come From Away"
Please join us for what's sure to be a moving trip to the Arvada Center. The musical "Come From Away" is based on an extraordinary true story and, as described by the Arvada Center, "chronicles how the isolated town of Gander, Newfoundland played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. Filled with traditional Irish folk music and stirring musical ballads all performed by an onstage band, this breathtaking musical is a true celebration of hope, humanity, and unity." Our bus will pick us up and return us to Walt Self. Register using the link below or by dropping of a check/cash at town hall. Put it in an envelope with Lisa Ramsey on it and be sure to list the names of all attendees.
